18 essential items to pack for your glamping adventure in the great outdoors

More and more people are taking to the wilderness with a sense of wonder and a full palette of highlighter, because why not have both?! However, even if we’re packing for a glamping trip (glamorous camping trip) instead of a full-on wilderness experience, we still have to be prepared for the curveballs nature throws at us.

So, if you identify more with the luxury camping style of the beloved fictional socialite Phyllis Nefler from Troop Beverly Hills, than say the admirable but rugged habits of a veteran outdoorswoman, you’re not alone.

We’ve got your back, and we’re here to remind you that beyond the must-have nature-inspired Tartelette palette, you’ll still need to go out armed with sunscreen options, bug repellent, and of course, plenty of sensible snacks. Even if you’re not pitching a tent this summer, the extended time in nature requires its own set of necessities. Luckily, there are countless affordable and helpful products for your glamping needs.

Much like Phyllis, we are full of enthusiasm and ideas, so we’ve gathered 18 useful glamping options for your next trip!

This is basically an all-in-one spray for your hands. It features a combination of the essential oils Litsea Cubeba, Eucalyptus, and Palmarosa to cleanse your hands AND scare away bugs. It’s also safe on clothing and doesn’t feature harsh chemicals, so you can maintain that manicure.

No glamping trip is complete without a luxury river or oceanside sun bathing day. For this, you’ll need a soft, large, and glamorous towel to protect your skin from the crags and sand. And yes, dry yourself off if you actually swim.

It may have a hefty price tag, but this is no run-of-the-mill water bottle. The Lifesaver Bottle lives up to its name by enabling you to source water from ponds, lakes, and rivers, while filtering out any potentially dangerous bacteria. This is a lifetime glamping investment.

If you’d rather pack a sunblock that can easily provide protection from head to toe with a quick spritz, this sunscreen mist from Supergoop is what you want. Even though it’s a mineral sunblock, it dries to a sheer finish. Plus, it’s water resistant for 80 minutes so just quickly reapply after your dip in the lake.

You’ll need a solid jacket to protect you from the rain, bugs and the rest of nature’s elements. This nylon jacket is water-resistant and still cute to boot, so you don’t have to sacrifice your fashion-forward image for comfort.

These are fairly self-explanatory in scope and nature. Unless you’re going full-on Troop Beverly Hills and checking into the Beverly Hills Hotel, having some full-body wipes will be a crucial aid in channeling music video glam levels during your spiritual journey by the river.
